What is being done when I put up a “no trespassing” sign and cite the laws against doing so? Creating conditions for law breaking? Hoping?

Oh, please, this is getting way too deep for my boots. Let's try to be be serious (even thought it's an effort with this type of material). You are the one who tells me he is called the Almighty for a reason and he can accomplish whatever he wants even if we don't want to listen and obey.

God always gets what he wants. So, if the Almighty God didn't want man to sin then man would not have sinned! Period. Why else go through the charade described in Genesis?

"No trespassing" sign! LOL!

To admit or exclude whom I wish from picking fruit from a tree I planted and own?

God didn't need that tree in the Garden. He planted it there to exclude the only two human beings on earth? LOL! How about placing two, or two thousand angels with fiery swords to guard the tree? That sure would have kept both unwanted visitors out (just as God did at the entrance to the Garden after he kicked Adam and Eve out). Or was that an "I should have had a V8" moment?

From a tree I made the exception to a rule and posed no hardship to anyone to avoid?

Oh, an the serpent came there on his "free will" to beguile the woman? God had nothing to do with that either? LOL!

Of course, God could have made the fruit unappealing too...barbs, bad odor, etc., but no, he didn't; he made it look tasty and appealing to entice Eve to want it. And he made it easily accessible.

Everything points to a deliberate set-up, nothing short of a trap.

When nothing else works claim it’s all a set up, use “LOL” freely and make with the silly remarks.

Outstanding!!
